DAY 5 - MONDAY
God calls the worlds into being.
God of the universe, when we
examine your creation with care,
we are constantly astonished
by the mystery
that resides in your work.
We rejoice in the layers of
simplicity and complexity,
the overwhelming variety and
the abundance of beauty
that surround our lives.
We praise You for making us
intimately connected
and deeply dependent upon
this world through which You nurture us.
Though we often fail to see
the connections
and forget that we are made
of the stuff
of stars and earth, like
other creatures around us,
we acknowledge your wisdom in
creating us.
We are made of earth, and yet
you have breathed your Spirit into us
so that our lives always reflect
this strange mixture of earth
and eternity.
How wonderful, how generous
You are,
Our God, in your creative
work.
We thank you with full hearts
and singing lips. Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 8, 104, 146:5-6; Isaiah 40:27-31; Genesis
2:4-7, 18-20a
